Your goat will need to eat between 1.75 and 2 lbs of grain to ensure a gain of 1\/4 lb per day. Always provide plenty of clean water and have free choice loose salt, and loose trace minerals available at all times.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_grain_should_I_feed_my_show_goat\"><\/span>How much grain should I feed my show goat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Feed the goats corn or oats. Grains are the quickest, easiest way to fatten up a goat because of the high carbohydrate content, but according to goat expert Susan Schoenian, your goat should receive no more than 1 1\/2 pounds of grain per day. Goats should be fed grains out of a trough or hand-fed.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_fatten_up_a_show_goat\"><\/span>How do you fatten up a show goat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A good rule of thumb would be to feed around 1  pounds of feed <b>twice per day. You should be able to maintain growth and condition at this rate until the end. When feeding your goat, place the feed source at shoulder height for the goat to eat.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_best_feed_for_show_goats\"><\/span>What is the best feed for show goats?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You will need to feed your goat both roughages (hay) and <b>concentrates (grains). It is also important to establish a feeding routine twice a day for your goat at the same time every day. Sudden changes in feed or feeding can damage the rumen. Forages are pasture, hay and brush.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_Boer_show_goats_eat\"><\/span>What do Boer show goats eat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to feed one pound per goat per day, just feed <b>two pounds per goat every other day. To avoid digestive problems from the goats eating too much concentrate at one time, make sure the feed has at least 18% fiber. We always feed pasture and\/or hay free choice.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_grain_should_a_goat_eat_per_day\"><\/span>How much grain should a goat eat per day?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Feed grain to your goats sparingly; adults will only need <b>1  pound a day as an absolute maximum. Kids require significantly less &#8211; around  a cup will do the trick. Most goats gain the majority of nutrition from foraging, where adequate pasture is available. Foraging forms the bulk of the diet.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_grains_should_I_feed_my_goat\"><\/span>How much grains should I feed my goat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>One cup of grain is sufficient for adult goats, while  cup of grain is ideal for kids (baby goats). However, pregnant goats and those kept for milking can eat up to 2 cups a day, as they need the extra protein and fat. The best type of grain to feed goats is wheat, barley, and oats.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_feed_should_a_show_goat_eat\"><\/span>How much feed should a show goat eat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Animal : Goats Feed <b>8 to 16 oz per day.
